> making devices my 80+ year old mother can safely and easily use

only today, I was talking to a lady walking her dog, who's close to 80 (I don't ask her that), and she owns an iPhone. When my phone started talking, she commiserated that she's always getting woken up because the phone is making noise and she can't make it stop. I told her to keep it in another room like I do.

I have Android, but if I look it up : https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208353

apparently there IS a way. Either it doesn't work, or she doesn't know about it.
